World Cup History
Goto goes to the 2026 World Cup without a senior World Cup behind him, so the tournament would bring his first appearance on this stage if he is called upon. With one cap for Japan, his record so far is largely a club one, built on his football at Sint-Truiden.
Japan reached the finals as winners of their AFC qualifying group and are drawn in Group F alongside the Netherlands, Tunisia and Sweden. For the 21-year-old, 2026 sits ahead as the World Cup to come rather than one already played.
